Here's another:
ALL YOUR BUCKEYES ARE BELONG TO US!

Yes to both questions. MSU was famous in the fifties and sixties for recruiting black athletes from the south that were not recruited by the traditional southern powers. Once all universities started recruiting black players, their dominance faded. Their most recent Rose Bowl trip was 1987 or so, before new recruits were even born. Heck, it’s been 6 or 7 years since they’ve beaten Michigan at all, and maybe close to 20 since they’ve won in Ann Arbor. Someone has to be middle-of-the-pack, I guess...
But let's not forget that tOSU helped us get our first NC back in 1996 when they beat Arizona State, so it's hard to hate them too much.
I don’t care what the scheduling issues are like, the Big Ten still rules the collegiate sports world. GO MINNESOTA!!
And yeah, it IS the Big TEN, that means Penn State needs to get the hell out and join the SEC or something. They’re the eleventh member and an eastern school in a midwestern conference of ten. In a true fan’s book they don’t count.
they are totally dead on on the scheduling. The Big 10eleven has the lamest scheduling known to man. I don’t know why they don’t add a team and go to two divisions like the Big 12, or lose a team and go to a schedule like the Pac 10. Or just play 2 OOC games and have a schedule against every team.
That is freaking hysterical.....
Concur. I never figured out how one went about scheduling a conference slate with 11 teams in it.
